We had to overin Darlington and needed to find somewhere to eat. We came across this little gem. The food is excellent and amazing value for money. The service was also impeccable. Highly recommended!

I love this place, the food is fantastic especially the pizza's, the closest I have found to a proper Italian pizza. Spoke to the owner very up beat and charming man and he is very passionate about his work. The price is also very reasonable, the service is good and quick. The atmosphere is very delightful, good music, and light, and its warm which is perfect for those cold nights. The only thing lacking here is the dessert menu which doesn't seem to have much of one.

Dined in here twice recently and absolutely love it. A small but beautiful atmospheric venue. Ordered a calzone and a pizza on both occasions. The Calzone texture was amazing and the mixtures of fillings beautiful. The wed night deal of 2 meals, 2 puddings and a bottle for less thank £40 is truly great value. My old workplace used to swear by here as their regular and I can see why. The chef always looks busy and it truly is an art form watching him stretch out the dough! Love it and will be back!

The guy behind the bar I’m assuming the owner thinks he is the best pizza maker this side of Naples ! He is by a long way not! Crust was rock hard had no flavour. Scrimped on toppings , I had the Parma ham large pizza and it had 1.5 slices of Parma ham on it . Tomato base sauce tasted like it was days old! Asked to move tables as some of the party did not turn up and he was stroppy! Probably why we got poor pizzas. Really bad experience if you want authentic pizzas that actually has flavour go to stable hearth just a stones throw away! There was 12 of us in the party and the total bill was £141 and the restaurant took it apon themselves to add £45 service charge ! That’s over 30% I’m sure these guys went to clown school and not culinary school! 3 of the 12 mains came out after everyone had pretty much finished their meals! Stay well clear of this place! It’s a joke!

Picco don't go, we won't order again. Pizza was unrecognisable/burnt while also cold. They definitely couldn't spare any toppings. Half a mushroom, even less pepper & 2 slices of parma ham were fired by catapult. 2 bites, then in the bin!

Food was really nice, however service was not good. I had booked this for an anniversary meal, requested a bottle of sparkling rose wine on the table, but when we entered I gave details and was just told to choose any table for 2. There were only 2 other tables occupied at the time, an elderly gentleman came in while we were there and a couple of take out customers. We had to ask for a dessert menu as we seemed to be ignored more and more, the delivery guys from whatever app they use got more conversation from the staff than we did. Very disappointed in the service despite the food being great.

Piccos is a firm family favourite. Love everything about it. During the Covid era myself and my daughter went to pick up some pizzas we had ordered. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited and the chef/owner was so lovely and chatty, telling us the story of why margarita pizzas have their name. When ordered for delivery they are always hot and fresh, but eating in the restaurant is even better. Always a lovely vibe - small and friendly restaurant with friendly staff. Extra little touches like a lemon san pellegrino “shot” for the kids alongside the limoncello ones for the adults. Today I had pasta (lasagne) instead of pizza and it was really delicious.

I had calamari which I nearly broke my tooth on. Worst I’ve even had. It was so overcooked I couldn’t put my fork in to cut it… it just shattered into 2. Absolutely no taste or texture to the actual calamari. Wasn’t served with lemon… I had to ask for some. Not offered so we asked for salt and pepper - none came so we went and got it ourselves. Then I had chicken and ham penne pasta which was nice but no offer of Parmesan or black pepper etc which I think is poor. Cleared 5 out of the 6 plates but forgot about the last one and left it there for another half hour. Not great. I am unlikely to return.
